Social media went into a frenzy recently following the circulation of a photo suggesting that Nene Aderibigbe, the mother of Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr, was pregnant.
The Viral Photo
The image, which captured the self-styled “Gen Z mummy” wearing a purple top and her signature denim shorts, appeared to show a visible baby bump. However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the photo had been manipulated using artificial intelligence (AI).
“Menopause na for Poor People”
Despite the image being a fabrication, it sparked a wave of reactions and jokes across social media platforms regarding age and wealth.
One viral post remarked:
“Ayra Starr, mother aged 42–43, is now pregnant. Abi menopause na for poor people?”
The Reaction
Rather than taking offense to the rumors, Nene Aderibigbe found humor in the speculation. Upon seeing the post, she offered a lighthearted response accompanied by laughing emojis to dismiss the claim.
She wrote:
“Hallelujah,”
